  • Josh80s is incorrect. This song was in fact co-written by Randy VanWarmer and fellow "Hot Chocolate" member Tony Wilson.

  • My hubsand left me when i thought i needed him most but i have found a boy that i love more than i ever loved him so that God he left.

  • @trice1012 we.ll you must have been the problem...if you found someone you love more than you ever loved him...maybe he did not feel the love at home...

  • What most people don't realize is Randy VanWarmer did not write this song - true! He only did a rendition. The song was written and first recorded by a 10 year old boy from an American orphanage in upstate NY. He wrote it as a letter to the mother that gave him up, only the letter was returned. It later became a song It was released on RCA records in 1979. Our music teacher told us the story and we were all wowed!

  • @josh80s Your music teacher was wrong. "Just When I Needed You Most" was co-written by Randy VanWarmer and Tony Wilson.

  • It's since been covered by dozens of artists, including Tim McGraw, Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan, and Conway Twitty.

  • Most heart-wrenching song I've heard but also beautiful!!

  • This song is beautiful. I lost my love of 35 years and this song is bittersweet!

  • Anybody named Randy is a racist. Think about it.

  • @bryanjones007 idiot...idiot..idiot...think about that

  • Hurts so sweet, pains me so good, I have to sit tight and fall silent any time this song comes up.

  • Such a touching song. I've loved it from the moment I heard it many years ago. It evokes that feeling of a lost lover, or lost family member. Helps with the grieving in a loving way. Thanks Randy.

  • To rewster69; I dont know you, but you have my sympathy continuously. Does anyone know when in the 70's did this gem of a song came out?

  • me dad died 12/1296 and me mam 17/12/09....god i miss them both..both died quickly due to there illness(heart and cancer) wish it had been me...

  • Thank you for the kind comments.

  • such a beautiful song.

  • Torch songs are not written to make us feel bad, but to share the human side of us all. This one is almost perfect. I will always love it.

  • I wish I could do it all over again....

  • this song goes out to the best man ever in my life ,my dad or pops as i called him .RAY BARGER was so special in my life and everyone he came in contact with .you made me smile when i was sad ,im trying to work hard and make an honest living ,and to be true to myself just like you wanted.i will never forget how you always taught me about honesty and family .i look at you each nite and day and cant wait to see you again.God has a plan pops and we just have to look at the big picture I LOVE U POPS

  • excellent video and song too:)very good work.

  • This video is a masterpiece! Thanks for making it! This song is a masterpiece too!! Grace&Peace to All!  BobbyK

  • I Lost my son 31yrs ago. This song held so true to me when this happened to me. No one in my lifetime knew what I was going thru. Not knowing where or how to reach him and even if I could. They made it very difficult get in touch with him. Unless your child was kidnapped you really have no Idea how it felt. Today I found Him. Actually he found me. Thank God for Facebook and the Internet. Hug Your Loved ones today because tomorrow may not be yours to keep. 31Yrs no one can pay back. Hugs.

  • @greggc3po Thanks for sharing this. What a wonderful thing that he found you. Facebook has changed my life as well. Cheers.

  • i have a dad and we went through some bad times , very hard to write, we had bad times, did not speak to him for 2years and then we connected for those 2 years i felt my life was empty, people get togethe,i, today is only here for today love the people and love your family

  • この曲を聞いて魅惑された人達が無意識で感じている事、『英米人­をも十分に魅了する素晴らしい』ロック・ポップス!

    アップありがとう!

  • linda musica, q Deus console os corações.

  • If you haven't noticed how much I miss you, it's because you never knew that I was there..............I still love you, and hope one day, you realize.

    Hugs

  • I'm so heart broken, I don't know how I'll get over this. It's been over a month and I still cry all the time. I miss so much that I can't put into words. I can't eat, I can't sleep... I feel so alone. It's gonna take a long time... I don't ever want to let anyone close again. The pain hurts to much. If I had known I'd be feeling this way I would change everything and run in the opposite direction. Nothing hurts worse than this.

  • @GLMaria I know that feeling...its like no one realises how precious love is.

  • @GLMaria Know what you mean. be carefull, I just turned 49 today. Still alone never married because of one girl oh so many years ago. Don't let time pass you by, cause time goes by fast. Someone once said; It's funny how someone can shatter your heart into a thousand pieces, and you can still love them with all the little peices.

    Live life.

  • echt hammer lied .... cooler clip

  • nice vid! i love ralph, my fave actor! classy guy! cheers and thanks!

  • i do not understand the feeling when i hear this song. i was about 11 or 12 years old when this song came out and i knew i had lost my inocence by then and it was so hard to see that i was so young and at the same time living a lie. feeling old at so early age i use to think that my inocence left me just when i needed most

  • This song I dedicate to my soon to be wife Ruselle! She is my life and there isn't a day that I don't think about her!! She is my angel and my princess all wrapped up in one! baby I love you so much! **Andrew**

  • wow this takes me back to Jr. high dances.

  • four people are HEARTLESS--sick they thumbed down! repent thx loveugodbless ta nd j kabbalah matthewshepard madonnalicious

  • RIP 

  • spend as much time as you can NOW with your wife, kids and mum and dad. don't leave it to another day. work. money. sport, hobbies can take you away and you don;t even realise it happening. we never really appreciate what we had until it's gone and then its too late

  • this a great song

  • very good, thanks.

  • bathset so sorry for your loss hope you have healed

  • @bathset IM CRYING WHILE READING UR COMMENT..:(

  • why would care, just go buy more toilet paper and in time you'll heal

  • this is a perfect song for me because I got dump then after that my life became a big mess

  • This is like country combined with christian choir-music.

    The way he changes his voice is kind of disconcerting.

  • Wonderful song,Reading some of your comments and hearing this song brings momories of a break up,I had just got divorced after 7 years in a loveless marriage (not being loved) feeling life was at an end,Just by chance I met this woman who turned my life upside down.We spent the most intence 6 month together but one day out of the blue she left me with no reason or warning.I have seen her over the years but she hides away.I want to tell her I forgive her but dont want to rock the boat

  • This sounds like the Bread recording of this song, not Randy's. Does anyone know for sure?

  • @rm72881 The group Bread never recorded this song.

  • 32 years ago she let me walk...too the bus. Biggest mistake i made. The lives of two people went there seperate ways. She respected me an i was only 16 years old.I piece of me is still occupied by her. Its crazy that i go back to this time of my life. I have started this 10 years ago. When she passed on. Why i did not spend more time to talk before she passed. Maybe i just getting to understand this whole thing. God i miss her somtime.

  • Boy do I know how he feels....

  • my boyfriend just broke up with me 3 weeks ago as well also by text message telling me he didnt love me anymore even after this i tried to show him all the love i had for him and it wasnt enough he was the the only person ive ever fell in love with and a piece of my heart will always be missing and in his possesion

  • @rockingrobin41 This page is getting like 'Our Tune' on Simon Bates

  • my girl just broke up with me 3 weeks ago through a text message with no explnation why and i thought everything was going great she even had me looking at wedding rings just 2 days before with her, WTF? why cant i just find a normal nice girl :(

  • Thanks Bili for reminding me of this powerful piece..

  • Bilicvit is becoming the expert in beautiful artwork accompanying the songs.Thank you strina

  • This is one of the most beautiful songs I have everr heard and today was the first time I have ever heard it

  • 32 years ago tomorrow, when I was 13, my father went on a camping trip. We had a big argument before he left, you know, teenage stuff. He left... he never came back. He drowned in a fishing accident. This song came out right around that time. It was like it was written for me.

    Now most every morning, I stare out the window

    And I think about where you might be

    I've written you letters that I'd like to send

    If you would just send one to me.

    I still miss him is my life.

  • @Bathset I feel you on that one....coz I was almost in the same situation with my cousin......he died right in front of me...I could'nt do anything....I felt so helpless...this song reminds me off him...I miss him each and every day.....

  • Ich liebe dieses Lied ....

  • @Bathset Wow! Thanks for sharing that, My prayers are out to you.

  • @Bathset  I'm sorry for your tragic loss! Sincerely, BobbyK

  • @timmybtokool When I´m hopeless about humanity and feel that the world is an ugly place to be, I read posts like yours. These tell me that there´s hope for humankind because there are people out there with feelings and emotions like the ones you express....beautiful people, of any race or creed. Thanks for sharing this, and I´d keep calling that number, no matter what. He knows you´re calling.

  • @Bathset I'm sorry for your loss. My father beat me for years and I finally got sent a childrens home at 8..........

  • @Bathset I just turned 42 on Nov. !7, 2011. My father murdered my Mother on Aug 07, 1973. 9 days before her 20th b'day. 3 months before my 4 th... I love this song but it still hurts an old OUTLAW...Peace, my friend.

  • @rewster69 and I thought my childhood sucked

  • @Bathset Jesus....

  • I thank you so much for sharing this. I lost my mother unexpectedly & suddenly October 2011 & my heart is still shattered.

  • Sounds like Poco or the Eagles.

  • You Left Me Just When I Needed You Most, thanks Randy for a very nice rendition .

  • I always thought this song would make for a perfect PSA (Public Service Announcement) for child support. What deadbeat dad wouldn't feel like a schmuck after seeing a video of a kid striking out on the baseball diamond, or gazing out the window in class and the teacher gingerly placing their hand on their shoulder - because his Dad left him just when he needed him most.....Punchline at the end: " It Takes a Real Man to be A Dad "

  • @josh80s I've had similar thoughts about this song myself. My mother left our family when I was in college, and I'd love to have her hear the line "I've written you letters that I'd like to send... if you would just send one to me!" So true!

  • I have this big croush in a boy on my school and he has aswerd it a few times but i sometimes he just walk to another girl. And im so broken because of that. I dont know if he want me.. Im 16 going on 17 and maybe u think im to young to know what love is ... But trust me when i say HE IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE! // From a girl hew realy think this song has a meaning

  • There is no feeling in the world as heavy as having true love end.

  • I have only loved one women (other then my daughter) with every ounce of my heart. Not only did I love her but she was my best friend. In 95' she broke up with me because I was in the military and had been transferred from Denver to Phoenix. I was heart broken for years, no other women could compare to her in my mind. I only seen her once after that, she had moved on, had kids etc. thanks to FB we have reconnected & are only about 45 mins apart. I haven't been happy like this in yrs.

  • I wonder why there are 2 dislikes, whoever dont know great music!!

  • thats so sad 

  • This just says it all. Bringing out all those feelings of abandonment,which I've bin thru so many times, Its a bit of a releif to kwow I'm not the only one out there. I'm at apart of my life where I feel so alone, and isolated.It's songs like these that really help me embrace those feelings,and let them flow. Maybe there is some healing power to this. My heart goes out to all who have bin abandoned at one time or another.

  • 1979, I was 19 and she was 15...so young yet she was everything I had, up to dreamed of, yet, for some reason she just dumped me... I guess I was just stupid and nieve yet I still remember Susan Farmer to this day, and she will always be in a corner of my heart

  • 82 comments before me-i met her in 82-she was gone by june of 83 going on 28 years -still miss u sheryl d. u.wish you much happiness girl!

  • its great to hear an see that as an indivdual were not alone in the pain of losing a loved one..we all feel it.

  • The movie "Private Lessons" brought me here. Great song!

  • What a great slide show to a song that reminds me of some of my break-ups in life! At least, now, I don't have to cry about them anymore! Anyway, this song is so beautiful, that words do it no justice! Beautiful, precious song! Peace and love to all, BobbyK

  • I still think of the love of my life when I hear this beautiful song. Even tho I have not seen her in years,I still think of her always. She will always be a part of my life and heart. I miss you!

  • "How is this to end when love's denied? " "With tears and a journey"

    This song is a gift. Thankyou

  • what movie was this loved it but can't remember the name

  • Bilicvit,

  • I think this is a lovely song, and from what I have read about Mr. Van Warmer is that he was a good man. R.I.P.

  • this song was popular about the time my husband was undergoing chemo for skin cancer and he died about 2 years later. it just makes me cry and i sure miss him even after all these years. really loved him.....he suffered so and i know he's in a better place, but i still miss him every day :(

  • Wow... I haven't heard this on the radio for YEARS. I loved this song. It went to #4 in the US (but oddly didn't do nearly as well in Canadump, where releases generally chart about the same level as in the US), and #8 in the UK.

  • beautiful song

  • it is a very painful thing !! :))

  • This is y I hate good-byes. Each time I have to leave the love of my life, this is what I hear : (.. Don't let me go  papi ... muu@@.

  • Comment removed

  • 5 stars. Outstanding slide show befitting to a great song. Takes me back to 9th grade. Thx!

  • "Where I'll find comfort, God knows" What a brilliant line, I've never forgotten this song. Great songs like this are priceless.

  • lost my best friend in the world to someone else. my heart bleeds when I hear this song

  • this song is timeless! this song is superior to all of the crappy songs thats out there

  • it reminds me of so much and it hurts still

  • Randy Van Warmer sang this song with such feeling.

    Love this song.

  • Oh come on - this wasn't a girl!?

  • great song

  • Wow! Was für wunderschöne Bilder!! Wirklich fantastisch und zusammen mit dem Lied zum Träumen schön :)

  • Thank You for posting! From Japan.

    It is really sad and beautiful song.

    The title of this song was "AMERICAN MORNING" in Japan.

    I feel open sky,clear air from the title.

  • My first love broke my heart when this song came out in the late 70's, every time I hear this song it reminds me of that time, the words fit right in on what I was feeling at that time.

  • Why didn't you just run out and stop her!!!!!!!

  • @srtb1 Things don't always work out as simply as we wish they would sometimes..

  • i can feel your pain

  • The line that says, "You left in the rain without closing the door, I didn't stand in your way". That's so touching and heartfelt. I can feel the pain.

  • the line that says, "you left in the rain without closing the door, i didn't stand in your way". that is so heartfelt. touches me deep within. brilliant and emotional.

  • love it.... and i love it.... oh yeah. did i tell you that i love it?

  • The words of this song are so graphic, they tug at your heartstrings. Most of have had this feeling at one time or another.

  • omg after reading these sad comments i am in tears, god bless you hunny and please try to be strong xxx

  • I'm emotionally moved by this song. My love left me when I was the weakest and needed his support with what I had to deal. He was not capable of being a substantial partner in our lives.

  • An early impactful song of loss leaving me not knowing my own destiny!

  • Justynka  .....I need you most

  • what a goober looking rascal wow never thought goobers could sing robert johns sad eyes'' he looks gay but god gave them a voice my hats off to all the goober looking singers,great song randy

  • love this song sad but a good one ty

  • this song is to my children who I am sure they have asked the same question, I cry because at that time I did not a have choice but I( do now, a little to late but I love my children regardless of what they may think.

  • nice song

    

  • WOW!! So APPROPRIATE!

  • NEVER "WALK AWAY" when it's the "Real" thing.!!

  • This vid is brilliantly done, thank you.

  • Thanks for putting this up. I love this song.

  • My punishment was too severe- he left without a word and never looked back. This song was so perfect to describe the feelings in my heart. I find myself listening to this song even when my day is bright. Don't understand why. Picking up the pieces are hard cause I don't know where the pieces flew. I don't know how to move on now!

  • i know the feeling my wife left me when my father died in montana i was their and she was in ohio cleaning house !! love this song thank you for posting it & great picture's too !!

  • i know the feeling my wife left me when my father died in montana , and she was in ohio !! great song ! thanks for the posting it !!

  • Eva Green is stunning in KINGDOM OF HEAVEN movie

  • Its beautifully sad, I'm very lucky to have someone very special in my life.

    So many people would find so much comfort in songs like these.

    True love is so euphoric, yet falling out of love can be so painful and hurt so bad!

  • Very nice touch with Gerrard Butler. Who couldn't find comfort in those arms? lol

  • Brilliant work --- this song and accompanying slide show is truly one of the most beautifully heartwarming pieces on YouTube.
